Collection Panels

PrimePCR collection panels represent the top ranked gene targets for differential gene expression analysis across a set of related canonical pathways. Collection panels allow for a more general survey of gene targets across a biological process or group.

Gene targets from a set of related pathways were ranked and compared according to the following criteria:

Frequency of gene expression changes in transcriptome studies

Popularity in overall scientific research

Popularity in current scientific research

The resulting gene scores were used to design real-time PCR panels. For groups with a large number of gene targets, multiple tiered plates are available. Tier 1 plates represent the highest ranked targets with subsequent tiers containing the lower ranked or less well characterized targets.
